Seeking your Input

We are seeking community input on Urban Planting Projects to Benefit Wildlife. We’d like your ideas on where and what to plant. The plantings can support species that the community cares most about by giving them food and shelter, as well as providing natural spaces for people to enjoy. We will choose plants that don't need much upkeep, so they can thrive for many years without a lot of extra work.
